Hi Everyone. Stewart Collis from Seattle here.

Hello, I’m RABDO Abdoulaye, form Burkina Faso !

hello

it's a pleasure to join

Hello, I’m RABDO Abdoulaye, form Burkina Faso !

What tools, platforms and networks across digital agriculture are currently being under-utilized?

Hi. I’m keen to see whether we have learned anything about what works/doesn’t work. From what I’ve seen digi doesn’t easily fix as much as often thought/hoped for. Thanks. Julian

Hi! Md. Harun-Or Rashid, from Bangladesh

Hello everyone, I am Martin Otyek from Kampala, Uganda.

I am also keen to see if there is some rigour from this study - to show that some (not all) claims for use of digi are not true.

Hi Everyone, this is Maqbool Khokhar on behalf of Christian Care Foundation (Pakistan) participating

Please don’t poll the audience when it is listening to the excellent speaker.

Thanks for those excellent opening remarks, Ed!

How I can introduce digital Agriculture in Haiti

Could you able to please share the journal sites you followed for the articles regarding digital agriculture? Thanks in advance

Does anyone else see the speaker talking? I only see a static picture of Jaron?

Will the power point and recording be available after the event?

Yes, the recording will be posted to the website!

More information about the project can be found at: https://agricultureinthedigitalage.org/

Thank you

is there the possibility to have your slides that would be very much helpful.

Hi Shiang-Wan -- I can see the slides being presented. I wonder if you need to rejoin the meeting?

Hi Shiang - Jaron has her video off to highlight the presentation & save bandwidth! She will join us with video during the panel.

Thank you for the information. Will look it later

Those gaps are very interesting. The lack of info on costs is no surprise.

let's network. I am an African farmer. you can reach me on abbashe188@gmail.com

Trust on technology and application time may also be included as variable please.

More information about the report & research can be found at: https://agricultureinthedigitalage.org/

I'm located in Haiti and interested in Digital agriculture and participate in the implementation. my e-mail is: tomyri@yahoo.fr

Attitude of the user cannot be ignoed.

Thank you !!

Thank you. Wish u all the health.

Thank you.

Thank you Sharon for the great information

Thank you Jaron

great presentation Jaron!

Thank you!

Great overview, thank you. What role does behaviour change and adoption play in your results? Was ist sufficiently addressed in the research design and approaches?

Good work jargon!

I would like o have a good definition of Digital Agriculture because it's a new topic for me

Thank you all! I do apologize for the disruption. I somehow caught a cold during a lockdown...thanks for your patience.

I'm not sure if it's just my view but I can only see you, Shamaila

can we type the names of the panelist to connect via linkedin etc?

Thank you for the question! The links to the articles (in some cases the abstracts) are linked from the website

Hello, would it be possible to post the link to the Miro board here? Thanks!

Alana - is it fixed? Can you see all the panelist in gallery view?

No, it's on speaker view but I'm not able to update it on my end (that I can find) I think since it's a webinar I don't have control over that, that I can find (where it would normally be).

MIRO BOARD: https://miro.com/app/board/o9J_lFmP_Hk=/password: evidence

Thank you very much Jaron for sharing the link

Now I'm seeing full panel.

what is the report Thomas referenced?

The presentation offered a snapshot of a report, Agriculture in the Digital Age. It is available here, as a full report and a summary. https://agricultureinthedigitalage.org

Excellent comments, Sophia.

more and more farmers well connected? You mean to the telecom or data, the second is doubtful.

What about youth, what role is there for them?

Those costs of establishing mobile infrastructure are influenced by government policies. For example in Ethiopia, rural was incentivised. Digi-agri depends on public and private collaboration.

Of possible interest to folks interested in gender related to this: USAID Digital Frontiers has a grant program called WomenConnect and some of our grantees work in agriculture (for example Solidaridad in Bangladesh working with women dairy farmers) and the program focuses on the social norms element: https://www.womenconnectchallenge.org/ (this work is lead by Revi Sterling who was an advisory team member for this work as well).

Yes, WomenConnect is a great program and they just held a webinar on this topic last week

we have built IVR based services for rural community to address the gap. currently standing at 6 M MAU. s

I would like to connect with program located in Haiti

addressing to business model question, we have built digital services by taking onboard partners.

- Provided weather accurate services

so the initial short code is free of cost but we charge customer on weekly basis

@Laurens, frugal innovation is an excellent idea but the purpose and goal of going for frugal design and implementation needs care.

In under develop or developing countries, farmers are not in a position to pay for digital service. Different development projects introduce different digital tools/app and after projects period the tools don't exist at farmers level. What is your opinion on that? How to promote right kind of business model for smallholders?

In Tanzania 34% of adults (9.4 million) are engaged in agriculture and most of them are located in the rural areas where there is poor connection or in some cases no network at all.

Interactive mapping of local cooperatives can not only provide some accurate data but also can be constantly updated. A partnership with some key governmental organization is key.

I would like a clear answer for the case of Tanzania because Haiti is facing the same network connections where Agriculture is practice

In many regions only satellite phones work in Haiti

Are the slides available? Good presentation!

What jabs can digital technology create in agriculture? Should research adoption of new technology in relation to labour scarcity?

I believe a research field to explore could how digital technology and labour change over space and generations

Daniele, do you see digital solutions as solving the adoption problem for weather-based index insurance marketed at the individual level?

well said, Jaron!

Digitization in agriculture seems great opportunity for the farmers living in the geographically challenging area like Nepal. The COVID situation make it more challenging in reaching and providing services to these farmers. What are the learning on how to make easy access to them and providing effective services to them using digital agri-tools ? What are such tools, we can use effectively having limited infrastructure on technology with no internet access and electricity?

Extending this question to our audience - In five years, what do you think the research and learning agenda in digital agriculture should look like?

This is a big estimation to make as far as I know it depends on which side of the agenda we will focus and where and how much the governments will put their assets into.

In 5 years small women and men farmers need to be designing the research questions - “nothing about us without us” - what do they want to know to ensure DigAg continues to be more inclusive and sustainable?

I think this is such an important area for user-led design. I know there are good survey mechanisms that are capturing and sharing data in near-real time (LSMA-ISA, PAD, 60 decibels are some of the groups I'm aware of) and these solutions are ideally linked to those experiences. What's happening in real-time, and where do we learn about this?

Thank you for the questions - thank you to all for all of your questions.

I see a telcoagnostic platform where farmer dial one short code and find everything he need. either it should be loan, advisory, online market place where buyer and seller are present , warehousing, insurance ,

etc
